another one bit by the bmx bug!!! hahaha!!! awesome!

 

[cody-james]

oh boy why does having awesome bmxs have to be a bad thing, bmx bikes are fun and easier to find then old schwinns. I just pulled a rocket viking with gt Mohawk hubs triple trap pedals, and a 3pc crank out of the garbage. I read that rocket was a Florida based brand with quite a few team riders. I should make a post of all my BMX bikes

Aaah, the BMX bug...yes it can bite you hard. It gripped me last year. Took me a lot of time and money to find and build this. It is a close rebuild of my childhood bike. A 1983 Supergoose with mostly period correct parts.

Looks awesome!

Odyssey Aitken is the best bmx seat ever made! I have one on my Haro 24" and it's super comfortable and durable. Your bike looks great!

man I just traded off a Haro Group 1 stem I would have given you for your ride!I agree the Aitken seat is the smoothest seat on the market today.I think a percentage of the sales of the seats go to his get well fund.He went down hard last year riding trails and crashed on a 360.A 360 for him is a trick he'd throw not even warmed up,that dude rips!!That Mongoose is crazy bad! If your ever in Cali,I want to ride it!!haha

 

[beatcad]

oh geat!
i was hangin' out w/ a pal yesterday and he saw this bike.
he said he had an older GT performer i could have if i want.
dang! as if i need another bike. i'm tryin' to unload a few.
we'll see. maybe i'll tos it in the attic and build it up next summer.....or later.

 

[deorman]

That attic's gonna bust a beam one of these days!

Hey beatcad you might want to swoop that performer up!Those things are worth some $$ if its the right year.I think like 84-86ish.

 

[Lonewolf]

I'm coming from the dark side.

 

[LIVE TO RIDE]

tell me about it. seems they're all worth a decent amount up until about late 90s early 00s models. i'm trying to unload this one(its a 91 though) so i can get a race bike. something aluminum and faaaasssssstttttt!!!! hahaha!!

 

[LIVE TO RIDE]

Man LONEWOLF!!!!That was,hands down one of the baddest bmx bikes ever built.I will own one some day.I want to build a one off version of that bike,but in 24'' cruiser.I just cant get over how tuff that bike is!!
